A song recital, appropriate to the
season was presented by pupils of
the Bibb County schools, and the
Warner Robins Field Choral As

Variety shows were presented to
capacity audiences of service men

Immaculate Conception
Parent-Teachers
Meet in Atlanta
(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga. — Despite the
blanket of snow and ice which
covered Georgia’s Capital City, the
December meeting of the Parent-
Teacher Association of the Imma
culate Conception School was well
attended.
Before the business session, Sis
ter Martina Joseph, R. S. M., prin
cipal, conducted a spelling match
between pupils of the eighth and
ninth grades, with the graduating
class winning a close contest.
Sister Martina expressed her
gratitude to the mothers of the

the Sisters on Thanksgiving, and
plans were made for the annual
Christmas party for the children
of the school were discussed.
Sacks of oranges were donated by

cookies.
Pupils of the school began re
hearsing Christmas carols early in

companied by Sister Martina and
Sister Mary Gilbert, paid a sur
prise visit to the Sisters of the
Blessed Sacrament. From that
convent they went to St. Joseph's

HONORED
FRANK J. SHEER
The Christian Culture Award,
conferred by Assumption College,
in Canada, has been bestowed this
year on Frqnk J. Sheed, author,
publisher, and renowned Catho
lic lay apologist. Previous recipi
ents of this honor have been out
standing Catholics, in which classi
fication Mr. Sheed deserves a high
place. One of the distinguished
speakers at the Silver Jubilee Con
vention of the Catholic Laymen’s
Association of Georgia, held in
Savannah in 1940, Mr. Sheed made
many friends among the Catholics
of this state. Mrs. Sheed was the
guest speaker at the Laymen’s As
sociation convention held in Rome
in 1941. As Maisie Ward, she is
famous in her own right, and her
recently published book, “Gilbert
Keith Chesterton,” has added to
her distinction. Their publishing
firm, Sheed and Ward, has made
many valuable contributions to
the world of Catholic literature,
and this latest tribute to Mr. Sheed
is a recognition not only of his
own achievements, but also of
those of his wife, and the publish
ing firm which they operate.
Randall Knight, Mrs. Bernard J.
Kane and Mrs. Lucien Hands, en

Sodality at a tea at the Cathedral
rectory in compliment to the new-
ly elected and the retiring officers.
